• Proficient in Go, Python, Bash scripting, YAML/JSON configuration, and REST API development for cloud-native platform and deployment.
• Implementation of messaging systems like MQTT for platform integration
• Experience with CNI plugins for Kubernetes networking and network policy management.
• Management of file-based data offloading systems using CephFS or S3-compatible stores

• Design, deploy, and maintain Kubernetes K3s clusters across edge or embedded systems
• Integrate the platform with Linux-based infrastructure (bootstrapped via PXE, OTA, etc.)
• Implement multi-tenant cluster models and isolate workloads per tenant or service
• Manage Helm charts, GitOps workflows (e.g., Argo CD)
• Develop and maintain custom controllers, CRDs, or operators to extend K8s capabilities
• Automate cluster provisioning, node registration, and upgrade workflows
• Monitor platform health using Prometheus, Grafana, and Kubernetes Events
• Enforce and implement network policies, RBAC, secrets management, and container security
• Optimize Kubernetes on constrained hardware (low-power devices, air-gapped systems)
• Troubleshoot container runtime, DNS resolution, overlay networking (Calico, Flannel, etc.)
